I am sure it is possible to complete it quickly if you happen to be given favourable information, but what information you will have is entirely random, and it is entirely possible for even an optimal information-pursuit pattern of behaviour to not result in sufficient information to beat an AI approaching it either randomly or with predetermined knowledge of the solution, pursued with varying degrees of intentional error.

I’m just going to say it - nurgle needs ranged units. And good ones too! The race has the aesthetics to support it, and they desperately need an answer both to ranged units and also to clear up enemy blobs that isn’t just more magic

Cat Army

So I just had the dumbest heroic victory I ever experienced. Playing Katarina I've sent a stack down to pummel Mannfred for his gold mine and to get him off the Empire's back. I'm besieging Drakenhof, with Mannfred and a ~15-stack inside when a dinky little Lvl 1 Necromancer with a single unit of Skeletons pops up and attacks my besieging army. Cue the battle being that necromancer and his skellies, while Mannfred and the garrison are on seperate 1-minute and 1:10 timers. Long story short, four winged lancers and a Patriarch and Boyar on bears ran over the skellies and murdered the little dumbass within ~50 seconds, immediately ending the battle before the big undead horde could even come in. I can only imagine Mannfred muttering something about being surrounded by idiots after that.

The Iron Rose posted:I’m just going to say it - nurgle needs ranged units. nurgle daemon prince should have gotten this arm:  (this is a forgeworld daemon prince model) to let you turn him into a vampirates or orion type hybrid lord. im kind of surprised that they brought in the soul grinder but didn't give nurgle any of the brand new nurgle units from 40k. they would all be easy to fantasy-up and fill roster gaps.   bring them a little more in-line with stuff like the empire steam tank and emphasis the 'demon' part of 'demon engine' and you'd have a cool mortar and a high mobility ranged unit. khorne gets both of those things and has a fairly similar (all melee) roster to nurgle.

You might want to try out userbenchmark.com to see how your components are running, it can give you good insight. I load into battles in like 15 seconds with a many many year old SSD. And when we play 3 player campaigns we have one guy with a 5+ year old SSD and we still load into battles in like 30 seconds. Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Has anyone gotten into multiplayer campaigns yet? how do they run? I'm pretty far into the special coop 3 player Kislev one, it runs fine. It seems hard as poo poo though wow, we were down to 1 turn for the initial 15 turn limit mission and almost lost. Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Feb 22, 2022 |

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Has anyone gotten into multiplayer campaigns yet? how do they run? Perfect, but a few caveats. There are three, one is... well, just the SP campaign straight up. One is a PvP Cathay cutthroat thunderdome of painting the map, the last is a Kislev focused co-op thunderdome against a metric fuckload of Chaos doomstacks. The last two has inflated revenue and slashes the turn times on everything across the board, as well as giving you a boosted start to get the ball rolling with near zero downtime. There are a few issues, though, and mostly they show up in the SP campaign; while people can swap out with factions in play for some reason you can't play any of the factions that didn't have a player in them at the start. Also everyone has to either participate or at least spectate every played battle, so if you get stuck doing a lot of them due to autoresolve woes things can really slow down. That said, co-op Ham battles are very fun and fluid. If someone has a poo poo PC though the load times will get grating. Nothing can be done there tho

Panfilo posted:Boyars: I don't know how people are carrying so far with just basic boyars. They are versatile but still crumple pretty fast in melee, later on it helps to support them with stronger units. To their credit, they fare better than other races T1 archers vs things like fast beasts charging them. You mean Kossars. Boyars are the melee lord type for Kislev.

Goddamn, does the Empire not have any of their dlc stuff? It's kind of crazy how utterly useless they seem to be. I dragged Karls rear end out of the grave, took all of Skrags poo poo and gifted it to him before running off to stop Mannfred from eating the rest of the Empire. I thought, Skrag only has his army and a few camps, surely Franz can take him right? I beat the vamps and see that he's huddled in Altdorf being sieged by a Slaneesh cult with Skrag having taken back all of the poo poo I gave him. Meanwhile, the rest of the Empire is getting rocked by chaos armies from the portals. If Kislev didn't depend on trade so much I'd drop these idiots in a heatbeat.

The Iron Rose posted:I’m just going to say it - nurgle needs ranged units. They get artillery equivalents (Kugath + Soul Grinder) and also low ammo short range at higher levels (deaths heads). Ranged is supposed to be handled by furies,toads and flies. Toads in particular are great at disrupting formations but do kind of melt under focused fire. I feel that having so limited ranged options is a defining part of the slow and grindy design and shouldn't be altered too much. All the range is at high levels which means that maybe a cheaper ranged option could be added later, like cultists with slings?. If anything, the ammo counts on deaths heads should be increased a little.

You spend three or four turns getting sigil reveals only to discover you've moved farther from the goal, and need at least three or four more moves to get where you're going.

Avasculous posted:Is it just me, or is autoresolve way more pessimistic in this one? Auto resolve has been more than a little hosed in literally every Total War game ever released. This one is bad currently because of a couple factors: 1. Artillery isn't always treated as artillery, depending on the unit a lot of the time they count as monstrous infantry (Ogres), chariots (Kislev/Cathay), or or just straight single unit monsters (most Chaos). There's some kind of oversight in how new units are classified in the system, because WH2 arty is resolving as it should be. I bought a bunch of rockets from Empire as Ice Court and they usually do fine. 3. Heavy cavalry is way overweighted, which leads to things like bear riders get hundreds upon hundreds of kills. Light cav/skirmishers either do fine or get wiped out, no middle ground. 4. Hybrid infantry classification is real fucky right now and seems to vary from unit to unit in terms of their performance.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Ah oops, had it on a hard drive instead of SSD, should be better on the SSD. They aren't really palette swaps now though? Granted the differences could stand to be bigger but there's a spectrum with some variance. Beastmen and Khorne get some beast skulls on theirs, Tzeentch ones get some extra heads etc.   They're definitely variations on a theme, but they're about as personalized as the Giants are.
